Twitter prepares a camera function in the style of Instagram Stories
What is the only social network that still doesn't have stories or snaps? Correct: Twitter. And it is that the social network of the blue bird, although with its visual details such as the Moments function, seems to have slipped the buck with the new visual trends. Until now, when it has been discovered that is testing a new function with which to fill the walls with quick photos in the purest Instagram Stories or Snapchat Snaps style. But yes, for now only tests.
The TechCrunch medium is the one who has echoed several posts from users who have come across this new feature. It consists of a redesign of the Twitter camera function. Something that until now led us to create a tweet or message where we could attach photographs Elements that we could edit with filters and stickers. But with an uncreative and comfortable process. Situation that seems to want to change with the new feature, which is integrated directly with a single gesture.
Thus, according to reports in the aforementioned medium, all you have to do is swipe your finger to the left directly on the main Twitter screen. With this we would access the terminal's camera to take a photo of what is happening. Something like becoming journalists to portray current events or the environment.The turn towards the Instagram or Snapchat style comes hand in hand with labels. And it is that these photos would be accompanied by a location label and another with a label or caption.
Of course there are customization options. So there would be a choice of six background colors to alternate with the labels. Although few more details have emerged about this feature. Do not forget that, according to TechCrunch, it is still in half of its development, so many elements could change. You might even gain new options and features.
What is clear is that Twitter is finally giving in to the pressure of Instagram, which continues to grow in users. And it is that the visual attracts much more attention, and it seems that they want to give better tools to their users so that they can share any detail in an instant.In a faster and more comfortable way than seen so far. Of course, for this we will still have to wait without an official confirmed date. Only a window has been opened to the first half of this year 2019 So we will have to be attentive to future developments.
